As is my custom this time every year my own teens participate in a denominational ministry/talent show where they are graded and scored for their performance in more than 20 different talent areas. The elite will receive an invitation to compete in August in Orlando for the National Finals. My daughter, Whitney made Nationals in 3 of the 5 entry areas she competed in.
It’s really a great day of encouraging students to use their gifts for God. The feeling of unity and the spirit of ministry is absolutely incredible.
I am so impressed with today’s Christian teens. I teared up today in joy as I observed students giving there very best ministry to the glory of God. They amaze me! Our own dozen or so students who were involved did a great job. I was so……proud of them.
The next time you see that Christian teen at church or around town, make it a point to give them a hug and a word of encouragement. Look past the outer dress, clothing fad, piercings, and hairstyles to their hearts for God.
Speak words of life into their hearts, minds, and spirits. This generation will usher in the next great move of God or perhaps even the coming of Christ. WOW…what an amazing generation!
